Summary
The dam, with a storage capacity of 69 acre-feet, serves primarily for recreational purposes and is regulated by the Department of Conservation and Recreation. Despite being state-regulated and inspected, the dam's hazard potential and condition assessment remain undetermined and not rated, respectively.
Owned by an unspecified entity, Conrads Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment and emergency action plan preparedness. With an undetermined hazard potential, the dam's risk assessment and management measures are also lacking details. The dam's location at coordinates 37.548 latitude and -76.4104 longitude in Middlesex, Virginia, adds to its appeal as a recreational spot for water resource and climate enthusiasts.
Although Conrads Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment and emergency action plan preparedness, it remains a popular destination for recreational activities. As one of the few dams on Wilson Creek, the dam's maximum discharge, spillway type, and other critical details are not provided in the available data. However, the dam's presence in a picturesque setting in Middlesex, Virginia, makes it a captivating spot for water resource and climate enthusiasts to explore and appreciate.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
